Is it just me or i think the way Kenya is headed the wrong way? I is just here of the rest of the world is this way? Its disturbing to me that every morning all day all night, the media is only helping us build a love nation!! but how are we to build this nation if all we do is love talk, this is all we fill in our heads, both young and old!
In all local radio stations(local)the talk is about love!love this, love that , love me love you, i am in no way hating here but no way this love talk is too much, its getting into my nerves, is it just me or is anyone else out there wishing they had enough resources to start a radio station that actually builds our minds and our nation...you must be thinking yea after the 2007-2008 post election violence we need the love talk, yes we do but is it not time we enlightened our people about the technology trends, what new medical practices are up and coming,the engineers(at least my friends who are)wanna know what new structural trends are up, what the metropolitan plan for Kenya is proposing and all. the journalists wanna know what new interesting stories are up! what am saying is, instead of the radio stations filling our heads with politics over news time and love talk all day and night, is there no way we can build our minds with a more productive talk like that of development,technology,medical talk!
If mass media behave like that, they have likely a dubious aim. Media are there to inform the people, NOT to model a modern human being.
ReplyDeleteIn case of "love" it is very important to distinguish between earthly love between human beings and the love which comes from god. Both is called love, but both are very different. Praying earthly love through the media could be part of a secularisation strategy. But I am not sure. In germany now the mass media are attacking the catholic church and pope violently.

attacking? wow, but is the media not supposed to bring out the two sides of the coin and let the people decide? is there no one who can do anything about this!!
ReplyDeleteThe main task of the mass-media is not reporting. They are to form opinions.
ReplyDeleteAlternative media are trying to bring out the truth.
The true rulers of the world have a problem with the catholic church. So they are trying to destroy it via the mass-media. But not only the mass-media are involved.
